| Summary | "Neotropical Hylid Frogs, Genus Smilisca" by William Edward Duellman and Linda Trueb is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. This work focuses on the taxonomy, morphology, and natural history of the frogs belonging to the genus Smilisca, which are primarily found in Central America. The book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the known species within this genus, exploring their varied ecological adaptations and offering insights into their phylogenetic relationships. The opening of the publication introduces the family Hylidae and contextualizes the genus Smilisca within it, highlighting its geographic distribution and ecological significance. It outlines the challenges in defining hylid genera due to the diversity and complexity of species and details the extensive research conducted, including observational studies and morphological analyses. This initial section sets the foundation for the examination of specific species accounts, morphological characters, breeding behaviors, and the ecological roles these frogs play in their respective habitats. Through a combination of historical references, acknowledgments, and methods used in the study, the authors emphasize the importance of understanding this genus in the context of broader amphibian research.
